Chapter 39: Graphene chips
On June 25, most of the executives of Xinghuo Technology came to the Daxing chip factory.
After the acceptance of the chip factory was completed, the R&D center also overcame the difficulties of the etching machine, and Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company urgently produced the first batch of equipment.
Engineers have completed the first batch of chip production lines in the chip factory, and today is the day when Xinghuo Technology's graphene chips are officially put into production.
Zhou Yu said to Chen Jin, who was holding the shooting equipment: "Xiao Jin, the following is an important moment, you must shoot me handsomely."
"What are you thinking about so much? Don't be too deliberate, hurry up and start the production line! If you hadn't said that graphene chips could make Bajie smarter, I wouldn't have asked for leave to accompany you. Chen Jin urged.
Zhou Yu looked at Yuan Keqing and asked, "How is the chip factory prepared?"
"Mr. Zhou is assured that the engineer has finished overhauling the production line, and all the equipment is normal, which meets the conditions for the production of graphene chips." Yuan Keqing reported excitedly.
Zhou Yu looked ahead, a heroic momentum emerged from him, and he said impassionedly: "Today is a crucial day for our Xinghuo Technology, and the only graphene chip with all intellectual property rights in Huaxia has been officially put into production!"
From today on, our company has its own high-performance chips, and we are no longer afraid of the technical blockade of us by developed countries.
All employees of Xinghuo Technology will be proud of it, and we must persevere to create an ecology that belongs to graphene chips. ”
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, the applause below was thunderous, and everyone was very excited.
"Next, I announce that the graphene chip has been officially put into production."
As Zhou Yu spoke, he pressed the start button displayed by the hologram.
The chip factory production line is under the control of artificial intelligence Luban and starts according to the established procedure.
The graphite powder, which has a purity of 99.9999%, is fed into the reactor via a conveyor belt.
There are multiple engineers in the chip factory who are constantly reporting on the status of the production line.
"The production line is running normally, and the material is being put into the market."
The graphite powder enters the reactor, and the reactor starts to run with electricity.
"The graphene wafer reactor is running normally."
In just ten minutes, the graphite powder is processed into graphene wafers, which are fed to the next process via a conveyor belt.
"The graphene wafer is qualified."
The graphene wafers are fed into rectangular cabinets 3.5 meters long, 2 meters high and 1 meter wide.
"The etching machine is running normally, and it is etching the Fuxi type 1 chip."
The etching machine quickly spits out the etched chips, which are fed into the die cutter and laser cut into standard chips.
"The chip etching is complete, the processing success rate is 92%, and the damaged wafer is being discarded."
The standard wafer enters the last important process, the packaging of the chip.
The chip is encapsulated by a machine that fits the pins of a silver alloy, injects an intelligent instruction set, and wraps the chip with a carbon fiber shell.
"The chip test was successful, and the pass rate was 75%."
Everyone has been quietly waiting for the graphene chip processing process, and finally when they heard the engineer report that the chip was successfully tested, everyone cheered.
Tian Kai shed tears of excitement and said excitedly: "Finally succeeded, and the chip I designed officially entered industrial production."
The engineer quickly sent the processed chip, which is a standard Fuxi type 1 graphene chip, one square centimeter in size.
Tian Kai immediately stepped forward, excitedly took the processed chip, and used the equipment he carried with him to test the chip.
"Perfectly in line with the theoretical design, it will surely become the cornerstone of the Chinese information age." Tian Kai said excitedly.
"Academician Tian, some of us still don't understand the importance of this chip, you can give everyone a science popularization." Zhou Yu reminded.
Tian Kai put the chip on his chest with his left hand, showed it to everyone, and explained to everyone: "It has 10 megabytes, 1000MHz cache memory.
This is a bidirectional cross-parallel transmission bus that transmits data between processors, RAM, and I/O devices at high speeds.
It provides a 526-bit address extended server memory structure. ”
Tian Kai looked at everyone's somewhat confused eyes, and immediately realized that he had picked the simplest chip data to introduce to everyone, but these people were laymen and still didn't understand what these data meant.
He tried his best to use words that laymen could understand, and popularized science to everyone: "There are two models of chips produced in our chip factory, the Fuxi type 1 used in mobile devices and the Nuwa type 1 used in servers.
Their computing power is 275% higher than that of the most advanced foreign chips, that is, the performance is almost three times that of them.
More importantly, compared with silicon-based chips, carbon-based chips consume less energy, generate less heat, dissipate heat faster, and are more safe and reliable to use, which can prevent the attack of electromagnetic bombs, not to mention strong electromagnetic interference. ”
After Academician Tian Kai popularized science, the executives understood the powerful performance of graphene chips, and they applauded warmly.
Lin Yun, general manager of Xinghuo Electronics Company, asked: "Academician Tian, what is the difference between Fuxi type 1 chip and Nuwa type 1 chip?"
Academician Tian Kai explained to her with a smile: "The Fuxi type 1 chip is mainly used in mobile devices, its computing power is not strong, but it is more energy-saving and has low calorific value, and it also enhances the optimization of holographic display.
The Nuwa type 1 chip is mainly used for servers, it can be used to assemble supercomputers, the computing power is particularly strong, the corresponding energy consumption is also very large, it generates a lot of heat, requires a special assembly structure, it enhances the floating point arithmetic and addressing range, and it is easier to mobilize a huge database. ”
This chip production ceremony is more like a popular science education for graphene chips.
After observing the good operation of the chip factory, Academician Tian happily left the factory, and the executives of Xinghuo Technology also left the chip factory one after another.
Zhou Yu was also about to return to the company, he saw that Yuan Keqing was a little sullen, and walked up to him and asked: "Manager Yuan, what's wrong with you, why don't you look happy on the happy day when graphene chips are successfully put into production."
Yuan Keqing said depressedly: "Mr. Zhou, I feel that I have no face to see people, I have been boasting a few days ago that the yield rate of graphene chips can reach more than 95%, but the reality gave me a big slap, and the yield rate of graphene chips has only reached 75%."
Zhou Yu patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "This is a very normal phenomenon, the production line has just been established, some hidden dangers have not been investigated, and the artificial intelligence Luban has not begun to optimize the program of the production line, and it is normal for the yield rate to be a little low."
After the production line is run-in, I believe that the yield rate will gradually increase. ”
"Mr. Zhou rest assured, I will definitely manage the chip factory well and improve the yield rate of graphene chips." Yuan Keqing regained his confidence and said happily.
Zhou Yu and Chen Jin also left the chip factory, and Chen Jin asked him: "When will my Bajie be able to use graphene chips, I feel that he is now unable to cope with the complex education situation in poor areas."
"Don't worry, soon, our company is ready to build a huge data center, and when the time comes, we will lease you a part of the resources to allocate to Bajie." Zhou Yu replied with a smile.
